You could barter with them too - offering your vouch in exchange for their service to you. Ie... "Noob, go to X, Y, Z, and earn me a glyph and I'll help relive you of your Noobginity". You would be helping them get cemented into the game too.
Oh please, oh please, let this be instituted? I would dearly love to help relieve Rigwyn of his false noobginity.
And on a slightly more serious note. It's nothing but illegitimate hypocrisy to launch into an unrelated attack on someone's preference of RP. You don't see "people like us" running about insisting that everyone participate in our RPs. Wanna know why? Because we actually DO have some consideration for the other players in the game. We send them /tells to check up on them (kudos Zalya). We use out-of-the-way locations for a lot of the more intense RPs (kudos Zalya, Mariana, Travosh, Rigwyn, Thidin, Marsuveus, Taya, Karnath, Eonwind, the list goes on and on and on...) And when issues are presented respectfully, and discussed, we compromise (i.e. previous arcs involving dead bodies/zombies/crime in the city have all been modified).
You know what you don't see? You don't see people just maturely choosing not to participate in the RPs that they find offensive, without someone feeling the need to try and censor the entire community because they want to throw a tea party for Barney, Tinky-Winky, Winnie-the-Pooh and everyone else that wants to sit at the kiddie table. To all the people who DO handle this type of thing maturely, you have my deepest and profoundest respect. To the whiners? Time to take a good look in the mirror. Saying "You shouldn't RP Situation X because it offends/bothers/disturbs/interrupts/etc/etc/etc my favorite type of RP" is complete and utter rivnak dung.
One: What makes you think you have the right to tell another person what they can or cannot do, if it doesn't fall outside the rules of PS?
Guess what? You don't. You don't have that power, you don't have that right. And there's one hell of a big difference between ASKING someone to move to a different location, or to not involve you in something you don't like and TELLING them they shouldn't be able to express themselves or that they should change their entire RP style.
Two: Why is it acceptable for you to try and make other people conform to your idea of fun RP?
Guess what? It's not. It's hypocritical. You wouldn't like it if someone said you had to RP in their angsty/fussy/dark RP. I happen to despise mundane tavern-talk RPs. I only find them remotely tolerable if there is a character there that has an interesting personality. But that doesn't give me the right to come here and say that everyone who does that type of RP is not creative enough to come up with something more fun that suits MY taste, or that they should try to bring more spice to their RPs. Which would be why you've never seen me insul t the players who prefer that type of RP. I let them do their own thing.
Three: Why can't you whiny people have enough common courtesy to extend to others the same rights that are extended to you?
There are so many wonderful people in this community who are amazing Rpers, and who don't come on here just to whine, but the few who do? Yeah, you ruin the game for others. I've watched countless RPs get shut down, or OOCly cancelled because someone whined about how it infringed upon their personal rights. Ugh. Get over yourselves. How many decent RPers are you going to have to run off before you learn how to play nice in the sandbox?
